It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and does not provide information on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a budget amount or range, as this information is not relevant for prospective contractors to submit a response. Pricing must be proposed as a seven-year, all-inclusive cost, with a detailed cost breakdown provided.
